Read Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Chapter 33 – A Blinding Awakening LEO.

We were sitting in the cinema, watching a kid‘s movie, but I could tell Corrado wasn‘t enjoying it as much, as he was enjoying watching me with a huge smile on his face. I felt fking bad, I was gone so often that he was regularly left without even seeing me on some days. “Not enjoying the movie?” I asked, looking down at him. He shook his head. “No, I love it! I‘m loving the movie because Daddy came with me.” He smiled and I leaned down, cupping the back of his head, placing a kiss on his forehead. “Me too. It may be boring, but I like that we get this time, you know.” I remarked, adjusting his mini popcorn tray in his lap. “Thank you, Daddy.” I gave him a wink before glancing at my phone. Azura hadn‘t left her room, which I was relieved about, but I couldn‘t get what happened earlier out of my fking mind.

She was still hurting from all the sht I did to her… But she didn‘t get what I had meant, I regretted marking her because of my limited time… I know Jackie has told me that Kiara could probably heal me, but I was unable to put aside my ego and ask them for anything. I didn‘t need their help, just for Marcel and all of them to remind me that I fking owed them… 9 A couple of young women slid into the seats next to me. Whispering and giggling irritatingly, they had been seated elsewhere before they had left not long ago. The entire room was pretty empty, and I was certain they didn‘t pay for the seats they had now fking taken. Corrado‘s eyes turned toward them before he looked at me, frowning slightly. “He‘s so fit.” “Dmn and who‘s the kid with him?”

“Let me sit next to him.” They were whispering quietly, but obviously, it was fking loud in my ears. Irritating as fk.

I didn‘t spare them even a glance while watching the screen, despite half my attention being on Corrado.

“Hey, cutie.” One of the women waved at him, leaning closer. Corrado raised his eyebrows, looking at me and then at the women again. “My Daddy has a girlfriend.” He declared, and I almost smirked. 6 He had realised pretty young that women tried to talk to him to get to me, and he never stood for it.

“Um sure, what‘s your name?”

I was tempted to speak up, but watching my kid deal with them was far more entertaining. “I don‘t tell strangers my name. Sorry. Daddy, let‘s go home, Azura is waiting for you.” My eyebrow shot up.

Azura? Didn‘t he mean Nikki?

“The movie?” “It‘s boring, and I don‘t like girls.” He whispered loudly. 1 I sure fking hoped the women were feeling fking humiliated, and I stood up.

“Let‘s go kid.” I lifted him up, walking out the other way.

“So why did you say Azura and not Nikki?” I asked, taking my phone out,

“You and Nikki broke up, so now we keep Azura as your new girlfriend.” ;

My eyebrow shot up and I wondered if this kid was going to be a playby growing up. “Isn‘t that moving too fast? Nikki just left.” “No Daddy, because you and Nikki argue about more than football for many days now. So now we keep Azura forever.” He declared as we left the viewing room. Wow… and I thought I did a good job in keeping that sht hidden.

“She isn‘t an item that we can just keep.”

“Why?”

I placed him on the ground as we both walked side by side.

I looked at him to tell him that you can‘t just own people, but the adorable look on his face stopped me. This kid was the dmn cutest kid on the fking planet, and he was mine. “Because she‘s a little scary.” 3. “Azura isn‘t scary, Daddy! You aren‘t scared of anything!” He giggled. I was. Of losing you. Leaving you. 8 I took my phone out and looked at it again. I fking felt at unease again and after last time I wasn‘t feeling good about her being there alone. Although I could see Jax was there on the steps, clearly alert, as his head was turned downwards towards the lower floor. 1 He was using a scent disguiser, and I knew even Emmet wouldn‘t notice him there unless he went up the stairs, so all should be ok… “Kiddo, shall we get takeaway and get home? Maybe we can eat it with Azura?” “Oh yes! Let’s all eat together. Then you make Azura happy, and we bring her home.” He replied as we left the place. “Perfect.” I replied distractedly, as I walked over to one of the takeout shops inside near the cinema. I placed our order distractedly, as I mulled over Emmet‘s reaction when I told him that he was suspended until further notice… (FLASHBACK) “It was her, wasn‘t it?” He asked, barely able to keep his hatred at bay. I raised an eyebrow. “Whether it was her or someone else. I will follow protocol because we stand for what‘s right. As future Alpha and Delta, it‘s our fking duty to be an example for our people. These are just the rules that we all need to follow.” 1 “You spoke to Jackie, I‘m sure she‘ll clearly tell you we are totally fking fine.” He spat. “Calm the fk down, Emmet. Friend or not, I’m not going to break the rules for you.” I warned, my eyes flashing. “You are going to believe a fking Elite? One who has fking reaped discord since she‘s got here. Tell me, who is her fking mate that ain‘t accepting her?!” “Jax.” I lied, knowing this meant I would have to tell Jax the truth, but he‘d keep the secret. “Jax Adams? And you really want one of your strongest men mated to an Elite?” He looked disgusted. “I‘ve never stopped anyone from going to an elite pack or vice versa before, if they find their mate. She‘s been marked, what do you want me to do? Just send her back? The one who marked her needs to fix this sht… somehow.” 1 “Who cares what happens to a fking elite.” He spat. 1 I frowned. “She wasn‘t one of the ones who caused us any harm… She was a child when all that sh*t went down… There‘s no difference between us if we hurt those who are fking innocent Emmet. This has nothing to do with her, but the fact you hurt Jackie, whether it was a one–off or not… It was a fking crime. Marcel will be the final judge.” “We both know that Marcel is simply Alpha by title Leo, you are the real one in charge. This is all in your hands.” Our eyes met and I stepped closer. “Yeah, maybe it is, and if so, then my decision still stands. Until I‘m satisfied, you will not step into the Delta title again.” “I‘m your best friend, Leo.” 1 “And like I‘ve said a thousand times, I will never let the rules slide even for someone I consider my brother.” I growled menacingly, my aura rolling off me. He was forced to submit and looked down. “You need me close to Marcel to make sure that he doesn‘t get wind of what else you do Leo.” Was that a threat? “I fear no one. What I do is for my pack, and if anyone double–crosses me… then they will fking pay. Remember that.” I ended the conversation, storming out.

(END OF FLASHBACK)

“Here‘s your order. Can I get you anything else?” The woman behind the counter asked. “No.” I replied, taking out my card and paying.

“Thank you.” Corrado said, picking up the bags with ease.

“You are most welcome.” She flashed him a smile before I picked up the drinks, and we headed. out to the carpark

I helped Corrado in and strapped him in.

“Seatbelts on.” He said, making sure it was strapped in. “Daddy, I hold the drinks so they don‘t spill.” “You sure?” I was sure we may just have more spillage… He nodded confidently and I passed them to him, placing the bags on the seat next to him, and got into the car. Putting my own seatbelt on, something that I did when Corrado was with me, I started the car. I could feel him watching and could see the happy smile on his face
